Its a messy bun woman but shes fully done up for St Patricks Day. Hair piled up on top of her head in those long flowing black satin lines that give the impression of loose strands without being chaotic. Sitting on the bun is a big oversized bow in a leopard-spot pattern done in dark green, which is a fun combination. Same spotted pattern fills the round sunglasses frames at the bottom. Little shamrock charms float around the hair, scattered loosely, and thats about all the festive detail you need because the bow and glasses already say everything.
Two colours only, dark green and black, 1 colour change. my main software packed those two colours hard. The black alone runs to 17.5k stitches at the 4-inch size. At 7 inches youre at nearly 44k stitches, most of it in those dense satin hair lines which at that scale look almost like real hair movement. Four sizes in total from 4 to 7 inch and all four are in the download.
A customer hooped the 6-inch size onto a black cotton tee for a St Patricks bar crawl group order this past March. She said the green leopard print bow was what everyone kept pointing at and asking about. Thats the detail that makes it different from the basic shamrock tees, its a specific womens design rather than a generic holiday graphic.
Pop it on a black or dark navy tee for maximum contrast. Both colours read strongest against dark backgrounds. Skip white or pale fabric unless you want the black hair to look flat rather than dramatic. Use a firm cutaway stabiliser at all sizes because those long directional hair strands run long and need a stable base to sit without pulling. Hoop tight, run the green first, and the black comes in last to outline everything.
Message me before St Paddys if you run into any issue, ill get the replacement out same day so your order isnt held up.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
